What busy, busy, busy bees we have all been these last few weeks. The two Welcome stand-out parts of our calendar were the 30th Anniversary Ball and the Open Day. The Ball was a roaring success: the Sports Hall was transformed into an ideal wedding reception venue or set for The Bachelor, there was an exquisite meal, the auctioneer (former rugby professional George Chuter) taught me what it was to be a charismatic and fun public speaker and plenty of money was raised for our Chapel refurbishment (almost half of what is needed!). At the end, as I stood at the edge of the dance floor (hoping someone would ask me to dance), I saw shapes being thrown which would not be out of place in the hot nite spots of Nice or Biarritz - you bunch of cool cats and kittens. Everyone I spoke to at the evening, or since, could not praise it enough and although I have claimed it was all my work, it really was our magnificent Parents’ Association (Mrs Bennett, Burditt, Hartshorne, Haynes, Humphrey, Suter, and Wilton). Bravo and literally encore! The Open Day was also a smash and I must also stress the extraordinary job the PA did there (ably assisted by Mrs Pease McCauley and Williams) working the room, charming visiting families, answering questions.

The 19th century saw an expansion in the public schools, which seized the opportunity to prepare boys for service in the Empire. The schools developed an elaborate systems of totems and talismans. Their rituals were reenacted all over the world. The rich symbolism of schooldays prepared colonial administrators for staging the Imperial drama. The public schools also became deeply involved with freemasonry,a secret fraternal society. The final chapter of the book providesan assessment of the public school in post-imperial days and notes that in the 20th century the schools have placed pragmatismover principles in order to survive political threats.
